My name is Chris Halus and I am the Elementary ELA Curriculum and Instruction Coordinator. I started my career in PV in 2001, after working for 5 years as a social worker. I earned my MSW from The Catholic University of America in 1996, and my MEd from Arcadia University in 2000. I spent 9 awesome years teaching 4th grade at Skippack Elementary. My passion for teaching reading and writing grew during this time, and I decided to enroll in St. Joseph’s University's Reading Specialist Certification program. In 2008 I moved to kindergarten where I was continually inspired by our youngest learners.  In my current role as Elementary ELA Curriculum and Instruction Coordinator, it is my pleasure to support teachers and administrators to find ways to best meet the needs of our PV students.  In my free time, my husband and I are very busy with our boys who LOVE sports of all kinds. I enjoy exercising daily, reading, and scrapbooking, as well as spending as much time at the beach with my mom as I can.
